On Wednesday, July 15, the Louisville area community, family, and friends gathered to celebrate the Jubilees of Kay Winfield (40), Mary Angela Shaughnessy (55), Rebecca Miles (60), Margaret Lillian Davenport (65), and Maria Vincent Brocato (75). Jim Graf, SCNA, celebrated the Mass.

A festive reception followed as SCN leaders, Sisters Jackulin Jesu, Barbara Flores, Michelle Grgurich, and Camille Panich, were present to lift up these faithful women, who have offered 295 years of humble, simple, loving service to the SCN Congregation, religious life, the Church, and the world.

Let us rejoice in the deep call of God that has inspired them.

    Congratulations to all, but especially to Sister Maria Vincent. You taught me almost 60 years ago. I still see the positive energy and love in your face! I would recognize you anywhere. Thank you for your life of service.

    What a tremendous gift each of you have and continue to give to one another and to the Church. It was a privilege to work with you while I served in the School of Nursing at Spalding University, May the next years of SCN Ministry be even more fruitful.
